? | Haruna (榛名 | + | Haruna (榛名, named for Mount Haruna, a volcano in Gunma Prefecture), was a warship of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War I and World War II. Designed by the British naval engineer George Thurston, she was the fourth and last battlecruiser of the Kongō class, amongst the most heavily armed ships in any navy when built. Laid down in 1912 at the Kawasaki Shipyards in Kobe, Haruna was formally commissioned in 1915 on the same day as her sister ship, Kirishima. Haruna patrolled off the Chinese coast during World War I. During gunnery drills in 1920, an explosion destroyed one of her guns, damaged the gun turret, and killed seven men. During her life, Haruna underwent two major reconstructions. Beginning in 1926, the Imperial Japanese Navy rebuilt her as a battleship, strengthening her armor and improving her speed and power capabilities. In 1933, her superstructure was completely rebuilt, her speed was increased, and she was equipped with launch catapults for floatplanes. Now fast enough to accompany Japan's growing carrier fleet, Haruna was reclassified as a fast battleship. During the Second Sino-Japanese War, Haruna transported Imperial Japanese Army troops to mainland China before being redeployed to the Third Battleship Division in 1941. On the eve of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, she sailed as part of the Southern Force in preparation for the Battle of Singapore. | |

ARP Haruna — Japanese special premium Tier V battleship.
A Fleet of Fog battleship modeled after the Imperial Japanese Navy's 3rd Kongō-class battleship, Haruna. First seen engaging I-401 in combat alongside Kirishima, she was defeated by the superior tactics of Gunzo Chihaya, commander of I-401. Her Mental Model—Haruna—always wears a large overcoat and has a keen interest in the human language, "collecting" word samples as she hears them. This warship has been modeled after Haruna as she appears in "ARPEGGIO OF BLUE STEEL -ARS NOVA-."

Cons:
- All the cons of the standard Kongo
- Cannot mount functional camouflage
- Captain cannot be transferred to other ships
- Overriding voice notifications are in Japanese
- Does not come with the overwhelming firepower, blistering speed, diving ability, corrosive warheads, supergravity cannon, and impenetrable Klein field of Haruna in Ars Nova: in other words, a standard Kongo :)
